he lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, which offers an unbroken stream of blessings from the Buddha down to us, enables us to practice very deeply while in the midst of our everyday experience. Sukhasiddhi Foundation, founded in 1996 through the inspiration of His Eminence Kalu Rinpoche, provides a vehicle for the teaching and practice of Vajrayana Buddhism in the West, emphasizing the attainment of enlightenment through the Vajrayana's preliminary, development, and completion meditation practices.

These practices, culminating in Mahamudra and Dzogchen, provide a path to the understanding and realization of our luminous Buddha Nature, the true nature of mind and reality, which is the inseparability of clarity, luminosity, and openness. They facilitate the rapid transformation of our minds and hearts so that wisdom, compassion and loving-kindness can open and flourish within us. Our emphasis at Sukhasiddhi is on the cultivation of deep realization and understanding while in the midst of our ordinary lives, allowing all of our daily experiences as friends, parents, partners, and workers to be subject to the transforming power of the teachings.

The Vajrayana and Mahamudra teachings at Sukhasiddhi are offered under the close guidance of Resident Lama Palden Drolma and other visiting teachers. Their teachings are focused on supporting students to recognize and unwind the unhealthy habitual patterns that block us from our deepest truth. They offer the practices in a non-authoritarian environment in which teachers and community members offer each other support, respect, and friendship.

The Foundation is a religious nonprofit organization.
